Hi RockkxD!
I believe we only stated that you can't post DDLs to torrents that aren't on our trackers.
It becomes very difficult to maintain if people might inconspicuously post torrents that might include some malicious files (whether intended or not).
If we had the torrents loaded on our tracker, we can easily see what files are being uploaded.
The way I look at Culture and Entertainment for any language would be something concerning
recent events, or maybe latest styles, mannerisms, or whatever may sound interesting.
Let's take a look at J Culture and Entertainment (just the main forum).
Hmmm I see some people taking about things they like about japanese clothes, Hello Kitty, general jdrama genre discussions (specifically targeted dramas are in the Drama Section of their respective language), etc...
In K Culture and Entertainment, I spy some K-Movie discussions, songs, reviews, kisses, etc...
Oh look here, C Culture and Entertainment! I know a little about some of these things.. like Vicki Zhao in that new Mulan movie,
or Jackie Chan playing a non-martial arts role, or maybe some new scandal with Edison, hahaha...
Let's take a look. DDL thread, DDL thread, Request for a DDL, hmmm... doesn't look too pretty here...
=================================
Take 2:
Hmmmm... here's another way of looking at these things. J and K Dramas are loaded on our trackers (hardsubs and RAWs).
RAWs often have groups doing Softsubs for them -- Softsubs for English (mainly) and many other languages like Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, etc...
The basic premise is that the dramas are being translated so that another language is benefitting from it.
Currently I'm loving Boys Before Flowers and Mei-Chan no Shitsuji. They're even English subbed!
Let's use my favorite example: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_57969.htm
372 episodes all conveniently uploaded to DDL.
Think of how much fun it would be to download the entire series and batch it for torrent! But why?
This is the type of drama that may get watched (or skimmed over) and then thrown away. Subs? Non-existent. Then why?
The truth is, C-DDL's only cater to native-Chinese speakers. No one outside of this would want to watch it because there's no subs.
Native-Chinese speakers wouldn't want to torrent them because who would they share with? Who would leech from them?
Almost any translated (English mostly) C-Drama has a torrent. No one bothers uploading RAWs because it could possibly be
the sheer magnitude/effort, and that it seems that Native-Chinese overwhemlingly welcome DDL with open arms.
This is just an observation that I came up with, and is by no means a definitive statement that can't be changed (there are many holes in the above statements I presume).
----------
Lastly, besides, why do you guys think that taking out DDL of D-Addicts is the end of the world? It's not like there aren't alternate sites to download from, right?

372 eps? Makes that batch for the first half of TOE look downright puny!
Good point about the language thing, I hadn't thought of that.
One of the biggest things that bugs me about the ddl sites is the limits to download unless you fork over some $$$. The fact that some of my phishing and other filter proggies often report suspicious stuff trying to load from some of the pop-ups, etc. is a turn-off as well, but that's just me.

As AkumaX had explained, you cannot upload an off-site torrent in C-Drama forum. BUT, you're still able to upload them as regular torrents. And as AnToK had explained, if the leechers re too lazy to do literally a few easy things, they're probably too lazy to do anything at all. For leechers, they can simply type the title in the search box and they'll get it. I can't understand why torrent is such a big hassle to Chinese-speaking people while you see that many Chinese torrent sites such as btchina or ydy or icefish flourish. It's laziness, pure and simple.
I don't want to regurgitate my previous points, but DDL really discourages sharing and encourages unethical profiteering. This is why DDL has to stop.

Imagine downloading that by DDL!!

Ugh... Imagine having the time to actually WATCH the damn thing. I can't even scrape together the time to actually watch some of the eps I'm uploading, and I've had the dvd for "I Love You" for a month and am on ep 2.
(Though I did manage to watch ep 17 of Battlestar Galactica this morning. Go Grace Park! )

| Just for your information, we as uploaders also go through the same process, we preferbly use www.hdzone.org for our TVB. There, we get our torrents, and we download them, just the same way you guys do. And if they like, they would seed it or not, and then we go through the time to upload it. It's not that easy, but fairly to me, it aint that hard. Pretty much a fast job for me but lets see what will happen, :X.

Actually, it's a secret communist plot to take over the world, and keeping the capitalistic English-speaking public from deciphering the hidden messages in the shows is crucial to this diabolical plot's success. Torrents allow too many bilingual people to access them and run a greater risk of some Western-sympathizing person uncovering the plot.
D-Addicts is the last bastion of resistance, and should be supported if we are to avoid total domination.
If this plot succeeds, I choose Gillian Cheung to be my personal ruler.
(yes, the aforementioned post is utter crap.)
(Except the part about Gillian. Yum!!!!!!!)
